Limborch's variation and Popple's translation, as on if it is precise that Popple translated the Epistola into English 'a l'insu de Mr Locke', and for this reason even if Locke was once wrong or right in asserting that the interpretation used to be made 'without my privity'. lengthy examine into files hitherto unpublished, or little identified, or badly used, has persuaded me that Locke not just knew that Popple had undertaken to translate the Gouda Latin textual content, but in addition that Locke Popple's paintings very heavily, or even that the second one English version of 1690 was once edited through Locke himself. In those conditions it doesn't look attainable to talk of an unique textual content, that during Latin, and an English translation; relatively they're assorted models of Locke's concepts on Toleration. The accusations of unreliability levelled at Popple as a result fall to the floor, and the Latin and English texts gather equivalent rights to our belief, considering that they either deserve an identical position between Locke's works. therefore the expression 'without my privity', which a few humans had obvious as revealing an innate weak spot in Locke's ethical personality, reacquires its designated that means: attesting to Locke's profound modesty and integrity.
